Do not look in the mirror: What will stare back will be sure to cause Futility; what you thought would look back is just a face Your mind has created: alas it is what you would like to see. But in reality all you are left with is undesirable. Quick, where is the moisturizer? I see some lines. Dark circles? I thought we weren’t wearing makeup anymore. You said we weren’t, we’re only 27 there can’t be lines Impossible.

Do I Really Look Like This
Do not look in the mirror: What will stare back will be sure to cause Futility; what you thought would look back is just a face Your mind has created: alas it is what you would like to see. But in reality all you are left with is undesirable. Quick, where is the moisturizer? I see some lines. Dark circles? I thought we weren’t wearing makeup anymore. You said we weren’t, we’re only 27 there can’t be lines Impossible.
Me, myself, and I. Had to get it out somehow.
